Innovations come along in every industry and commercial plumbing is no exception. If you own a commercial building, you most likely have faucets in many different areas, including bathrooms open to the public, those for staff use or tenant use only, and more. When it comes time to upgrade or replace older faucets, it is a good idea to ask your commercial plumber about the newest options available. Here are a few commercial faucet trends that might interest you:
Motion-activated – While motion-activated faucets have been around for a long time, there are modern options that are more stylish and serve additional benefits beyond being more sanitary. If you do not already have motion-activated faucets, talk to your commercial plumber about upgrading so you can save water and offer a healthier environment.
Antimicrobial – It isn’t just medical facilities that are interested in bacteria-killing commercial faucets. Most companies are concerned with controlling germs, bacteria, and viruses these days, making antimicrobial faucets a wise addition that a commercial plumber can help you with.
Low-flow – Commercial faucets that use less water helps you control costs and know that you have chosen an environmentally-friendly option. Most faucet uses do not require more than a small stream of water.
Another thing that a commercial plumber will tell you is that it is important to go with faucets that have been designed for heavy use. You could save money upfront going with a residential faucet, but when you consider needing to replace it often, you won’t save money in the long run. Commercial faucets, such as those with ceramic discs, stand up far longer and aren’t as susceptible to debris and buildup. Don’t hesitate to ask your commercial plumber about the many options that will give you lasting results and additional benefits.
